I put this into the card. It doesn't account for LOTS of things (such as
multiple copies of the line if you just keep alt-clicking buttons) but does
demonstrate a way to draw lines between 2 consecutively chosen buttons. If
there are scripts in the button, they must pass mouseUp to work. If they're
empty then its a non-issue. This script goes in the card script. Don't
know if it'll help or if its too simplistic but perhaps it's a start.
local sLastClick
on mouseUp
if the altkey is down then
if the name of the target contains "button" then
if sLastClick is empty then
put the id of the target into sLastClick
answer information "first button chosesn"
else
create grc "connectLine"
set the style of grc "connectLine" to "line"
set the points of grc "connectLine" to (the loc of the target)
& return & (the loc of button id sLastClick)
put the id of the target into sLastClick
end if
end if
end if
end mouseUp
